SYDNEY — Australian world number 29 Nick Kyrgios will definitely play in the Davis Cup quarter-final against Kazakhstan in Darwin later this month, if selected.
Kyrgios made the statement on his Facebook page after Bernard Tomic suggested the 20-year-old might consider a boycott in sympathy with his friend and fellow player.
Tomic was dropped from the team for the July 17-19 tie at the weekend after launching a tirade at Tennis Australia officials in the wake of his third round defeat to champion Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon.
"As a proud Australian it's a pleasure and privilege to be able to represent my country in Davis Cup," Kyrgios posted.
